Mustang History: 1988

Mustang receives a stronger, 540-amp, battery. Meanwhile, the LX 5.0L continues to thrive with an available 225 horsepower, not to mention nearly 200 pounds less cladding than the GT. For only $1,885, the LX can be equipped with a 5.0L GT motor and suspension. Considering that these components are tucked out of sight, the LX is a veritable "street-sleeper."
